Chapter 168 Can’t go to the ICML meeting? (23) Please vote for me!

The next day.

Lin Chenhua drove a commercial vehicle and came to pick him up.

The little old lady was sitting in the passenger seat, twisting her head and fussing, crossing her arms and looking out the window. Even if there was just a wall over there, she was unwilling to turn around and look at her little son.

Lin Chenhua was a little at a loss.

He didn't even cry out.

An old man and a strong man were sitting here, and the atmosphere was quite awkward.

Xu Qingshan looked at it and had no intention of helping to enlighten him. There were some knots in his mind that the mother and son had to resolve on their own.

Moreover, it was quite interesting to see the two stubborn cows being angry and silent.

"Uncle, that's it."

Xu Qingshan sat behind Lin Chenhua and pointed at a young man dragging a suitcase on the roadside.

When the car arrives, open the door.

Lin Chenhua went down to help Ye Xincheng carry the box.

"Hello, uncle!"

"Oh, okay."

Lin Chenhua's face was expressionless and looked very indifferent.

Ye Xincheng heard what Xu Qingshan said about his uncle's temper, and he was not embarrassed, but he was embarrassed to let his elders carry the suitcase. He wanted to put his luggage in the trunk, but found that the trunk was already full of all kinds of furniture. All.

"Brother Shan'er, are you really moving?"

Seeing that his uncle and grandma were both present, Ye Xincheng changed his tune abruptly.

This made Xu Qingshan raise his eyebrows.

Hey, the boy is very sensible.

"Grandma wants to take it with her. If it can't fit, just put it in the back seat. The car is wide enough. It's so hot today. If you don't get in the car, you'll melt."

Xu Qingshan reached out to close the trunk lid and motioned Lin Chenhua to get in the car. He and Ye Xincheng sat in the back seat.

In the summer of Fujian and Yue, the sun is extremely hot.

Especially now that it’s the dog days of summer.

If there is no wind or rain, the air on the road will be hot this summer.

On the 21st of last month, Tropical Storm Lotus No. 3 landed in Licheng, causing economic losses and a chance for summer respite.

But these days have passed, and today the fever is making people panic again.

Sit in the car.

Lin Chenhua drove steadily, without any sharp braking or turning, which was completely different from the small van he usually drove with cargo.

Halfway through the car, Xu Qingshan suddenly received a call.

This was called by Chen Dayue.

"Hey, teacher, I'm about to go to Ludao. What's wrong?"

Xu Qingshan said.

Ye Xincheng, who was picking his fingers at the side, looked over.

"Qingshan, the teacher was drunk last night. I just woke up today and remembered a very important thing."

Chen Dayue became anxious.

"Huh? What happened?"

Xu Qingshan was also a little confused.

There doesn't seem to be anything big going on lately.

"Do you still remember what date ICML is this year?"

"I took a look and found that the meeting originally scheduled for June 14th to 18th was postponed for a month and the manuscript was received again. The invitation is now from July 14th to 18th in Montreal, Quebec, Canada."

Xu Qingshan opened the pictures he took and recorded in the photo album of his mobile phone.

"Have you applied for your passport? Have you obtained your visa?"

Chen Dayue's question made Xu Qingshan's expression change.

"No."

Xu Qingshan realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Am I unable to go to the ICML meeting?"

I was busy correcting my thesis, but I didn’t expect to have to apply for a passport and visa. I hadn’t even booked a flight ticket yet.

But air tickets are easy to solve, as long as you have money.

But if he couldn't get his passport and visa, he would have to apply to attend the conference online.

It’s no wonder that Xu Qingshan is not meticulous in his work.

Mainly because he had never been abroad much in his previous life. Especially after China became strong and prosperous, many countries took the initiative to grant visa-free access to China.

If it weren't for the impromptu suggestion of two teachers, he would not have planned to attend this international conference.

In addition, there were so many complicated things recently, so he naturally didn't pay attention to this aspect.

"That's okay, teacher. In the worst case, I'll just join the video conference."

Xu Qingshan's mentality was stable.

After all, being able to publish at an international conference is already very satisfying, and according to the standards for accepting articles at the conference, Xu Qingshan is not on the core stage. He may only be able to give a small special report in the classified hall. During those four days, he didn't really care.

He was very confident, and it wasn't like he could only go there once.

“How can you just participate in a video conference?”

Chen Dayue was anxious.

The emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is.

If Xu Qingshan becomes the emperor, then the chief eunuch, Old Chen, will be appointed.

"It's okay. I have your materials and files here. I'll find someone to handle it for you today. You're staying in Ludao, right? Then keep your mobile phone open recently. I'll ask you to come to the capital to apply for documents at any time. ”

"Teacher, you really don't need it"

"That's it, it's the first academic conference. You have to go and see for yourself what an international conference is."

Chen Dayue couldn't refuse and took the matter on himself. Before Xu Qingshan could say anything, the call was hung up.

"Oh, actually online meetings are pretty good too."

Xu Qingshan looked at the invitation letter after accepting his article. He felt that there was a slight problem with the ICML system.

Time is so tight, do you have to start applying for a visa and passport on the day of submission?

That’s not too late, right?

"For people like me who are socially anxious, I'm afraid that I'll go out and yell at people."

Xu Qingshan murmured.

These words made Ye Xincheng next to him roll his eyes.

Who would be able to take off their shirt and run on the playground every day?

but.

Xu Qingshan didn't have much hope that Chen Dayue would deal with it. Not counting the departure time, there were only seven days left.

Not as easy as video conferencing.

But if Chen Dayue really runs down, then he will still go, and he will accept the gratitude that is due.

The commercial vehicle drove slowly on Binjiang Avenue, heading towards Ludao along the water system of Longjiang River.

Beijing.

Chen Dayue is looking at his classmates' address book carefully.

The phone rang.

Take a look, Lao Xia.

"Hey, Lao Xia."

Chen Dayue was about to tell Xia Bican the bad news, but Xia Bican beat him to it.

"Old Chen, I drank too much last night. I didn't think clearly. Something big happened."

Xia Bican spoke very quickly, but he didn't let Chen Dayue pick up the words.

"Isn't Qingshan going to Canada? But he has just turned 18, and he probably hasn't applied for a passport or visa yet. What should I do? He will report to the conference on the 14th, and he has to be 13 at the latest. Departure."

"I know, aren't I thinking about who I'm looking for?"

Chen Dayue said helplessly.

"This is my first time encountering this situation, and I want to think about it too."

Xia Bican couldn't help but complain.

"What's wrong with ICML? The time is so tight. Even if the manuscript is finished, there's still no time to do it!"

"You can't blame the meeting."

Chen Dayue sighed.

Xia Bican was silent for two seconds and then spoke.

"That's right, who can go to an A-type international conference, even if it's just a group report in a small hall, who is particularly young? Most of them are well-known in the world, and Western countries exempt each other from visas. We here There weren’t many people attending, and those who went there were all older people, like you.”

"Who are you talking about?"

"No, it's not important. The main thing is that this is an extremely special situation in Qingshan. Can we go directly to the leaders of the consulate and the immigration bureau to explain the situation?"

Xia Bican interrupted, and Chen Dayue frowned and said.

"Who should I ask? If that doesn't work, I'll go to the immigration hall window and ask in the afternoon."

"What a waste, the window in the lobby is so inefficient, the day lilies are already cold by the time you ask."

"You little bitch, if this doesn't work and that doesn't work, what do you think it should do?"

"You're in a hurry again. I think why not tell the principal? It would definitely be helpful if he comes forward."

"Don't give it a try, I'll go to the principal right away."

Chen Dayue doesn't care what the influence is. He is now thinking of sending Xu Qingshan to attend an international conference, even if it is just to listen to the whole process.

The situation of international conferences is quite special.

Normally, an annual international academic conference in the field of machine learning like ICML is attended by hundreds of scholars and lasts 4 days. In fact, the academic conference lasts 3 days.

If everyone was asked to speak, it would definitely be endless.

Because if each scholar was asked to talk about his or her own thesis and topic in depth, he would not be able to stop for an hour or two.

Some profound topics can only be covered in an hour or two.

Therefore, there are regulations for speakers who participate in conferences.

ICML has a small hall speech day, that is, group presentations are conducted in categories, halls, divisions, and groups, and introductions are made to some colleagues with the most similar research directions.

This is the most common treatment.

In the next two days of plenary meetings, key scholars were selected to give concise lectures that lasted about 20 minutes.

If the presentation time can be 45 minutes, that is the core highlight of this meeting.

If anyone speaks for an hour or two, that's the boss of this meeting.

This kind of master is to meetings what Xu Qingshan is to the college entrance examination.

Although Xu Qingshan proposed the application of Markov logic network system in statistical relationship learning ahead of time, as well as the in-depth extension of machine learning, a topic that was several years ahead of time, he also conducted reasonable verification.

But in a meeting of this level, he still belongs to the level of a shrimp soldier, a crab general, and a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers.

Still too tender.

But despite this, as an 18-year-old high school student, his status is enough for his peers to treat him the same way they treat Dana.

After all, this kid can take out this thing now, who knows what shocking treasures he can take out later?

The last Chinese to participate in top international academic conferences at the age of 18 has now received the Fields Medal, the MacArthur Genius Grant, and the Alan Waterman Award, and is known as the Mozart of mathematics.

and.

At that time, the boy was not making his own independent report, but was participating with his mentor, Professor Elias Stein.

But this guy Xu Qingshan reported completely independently.

Except for the obvious fact that the communication unit is Capital University, everything else, according to the submitted information, was done by Xu Qingshan alone.
